2012 Map of Pittsfield West

About this map

Hancock Shaker Village anchors the western side of this terrain, marking a preserved cultural landscape at the foot of Mount Lebanon. The map detail captures the interface between the urbanized fringes of the city and the high ridges of the Berkshires, including Yokun Ridge and Lenox Mountain. Significant water bodies like Onota Lake and Richmond Pond are shown alongside smaller residential nodes such as Barkerville and Stearnsville. Local history researchers can identify numerous burial grounds, including the North Cem near the Shaker settlement and the large Pittsfield Cem near the Housatonic River. The landscape is further defined by recreational and educational sites, from the campus of Berkshire Community College to the slopes of the Bousquet Ski Area and Catamount Ski Area.
